WebGuy codeception - php

Question

I'm new using codeception and i try to do a simple test: Log in and check links inside.
I'm using $I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario); in my acceptance test but i see people using WebGuy($scenario) and i don't know the difference between WebGuy and AcceptanceTester.
SigninCept.php code:
<?php
//webLOG IN
$I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario);
$I->wantTo('Log in my app mobile');
//$I->amOnUrl('192.168.X.X/app/mobile/');
$I->amOnPage('/');
$I->fillField('user','test');
$I->fillField('password','test1234');
$I->fillField('zone','01');
//$I->uncheckOption('input[type=checkbox]');
$I->seeCheckboxIsChecked('#rememberme');
$I->seeElement('input[name=submit]');
$I->click('input[type=submit]');
//succes
$I->wantTo('Check main page');
$I->amOnPage('/principal.php');
$I->seeLink('salir','salir.php');
[...]
?>

Answer 1

Codeception 2.x use only AcceptanceTester.
As it was said, Guys were renamed to Testers. Actor classes and
helpers are named by suite. For instance, acceptance test will start
with this line:
<?php
$I = new AcceptanceTester($scenario);
// and uses AcceptanceHelper
?>
See here : http://codeception.com/06-06-2014/codeception-2.0-final.html

Answer 2

The name of the "guy" depends on what you have in codeception configuration of your suite (in your case the acceptance suite):
# acceptance.suite.yml
class_name: AcceptanceTester
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver
...
When running codecept build the guy class will be created integrating all the methods of the modules you have defined, and it will then used by CodeCeption when running the tests. Any other classes will be ignored.
Also see the help for the build command (codecept help build) to see what options you can pass to it (i.e. normally you don't need any option).

Answer 3

the WebGuy class is only a custom class that extends from the AcceptanceTester Class. You can implement your own and call it from the acceptance.suite.yml
class_name: AcceptanceTester ==> or ==> WebGuy // here is the call of the class
modules:
enabled:
- WebDriver:
url: 'http://local.symmetryk.com/'
browser: firefox
window_size: maximize
wait: 10
capabilities:
unexpectedAlertBehaviour: 'accept'
env:
chrome:
modules:
config:
WebDriver:
browser: 'chrome'
- Db:
hope this will help you understand :)
